Abstract

The aim of the article is to reflect on the development of research within broadly understood cultural linguistics in Germanic studies. The collected corpus of texts of key importance for the development of cultural linguistics in Germanic studies shows how language and culture are defined in the context of their mutual relations. The article also discusses the terms used in the literature by linguists to define and describe their research, in order to use the examples from these two fields to illustrate the aims of anthropological linguistics (anthropologische Linguistik) and cultural linguistics (kulturanalytische Linguistik) and the methods used to analyse the linguistic material. The article ends with a summary of developmental trends in the discussed linguistic sub-discipline and with an interlinguistic commentary.
